        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Dhaka to New York City?",
        "answer": "There are no nonstop flights from Dhaka (DAC) to New York JFK. The shortest one-stop routings typically connect through Doha (Qatar Airways), Dubai (Emirates), or Abu Dhabi (Etihad), with a total travel time around 23 hours 55 minutes. Etihad is often the low-fare leader with prices starting around $968, while Emirates has the lowest median fare at roughly $1,460.",
        "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. Carrier service, flight times and distances for this route come from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We report the days of the week and the departure times each carrier operates. The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two specific airports named, so an actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer. Where shown, on-time departure and arrival rates and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; where a typical fare is shown, it comes from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold. Stop counts, connecting hubs, and per-airline prices are drawn from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. We group those fares by number of stops, by the hub airport a connection routes through, and by operating airline, and report each group's share of the sample alongside its lowest and median price.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in New York City?",
        "answer": "From JFK, ground transportation options include taxis, ride-share services, rental cars, and public transit via the AirTrain, which connects to the NYC subway and Long Island Rail Road. The AirTrain is the fastest and most-used option for reaching the city center, with a one-way fare of $8 to Jamaica or Howard Beach stations, where travelers can transfer to the subway or LIRR. Taxis and ride-shares are available but subject to traffic on the Van Wyck Expressway, making them slower during peak hours. Rental cars are available on-site but are generally not recommended for city-center trips due to parking costs and congestion. Public transit via AirTrain plus subway or LIRR is the best combination of speed, cost, and reliability.",

        "methodology": "Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes — flagging services that depart late at night and arrive the following morning; for connecting itineraries the red-eye is based on the timing of the overnight long-haul leg.",

        "question": "Which airport should I use in New York City?",

Newark Liberty International also handles many global routes and can be more convenient for Manhattan's west side. LaGuardia focuses on domestic and short‑haul flights and is closest to Midtown."

        "question": "How do I get to Hazrat Shahjalal Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Dhaka, the most common ways to reach Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport are ride-sharing apps (Uber, Pathao, Obhai, Shohoz), taxis from the prepaid kiosk at the arrivals exit, or the airport railway station just across Airport Road. Ride-sharing and taxis are generally the fastest and most convenient, though traffic on Airport Road can be heavy; the train is cheaper but runs on a fixed schedule. Driving yourself is possible via the eight-lane Airport Road, with parking available at the airport, but congestion makes this less predictable.",
